Lorraine Sousa, Marianne Gonzalez - Weston.
Using Moodle - used more in the high school. Some teachers have created a link for students to participate in discussions.
There is a Library space on the Moodle for librarians to share presentations, ideas. Librarians post teacher notes, bibliographies, rubrics, etc.
Also used for posting training on Smartboards. Teachers coming in can see what others have done, librarians can get ideas from each
Elizabeth, Newton - wiki for middle school teachers to create summer reading lists. One way - not enough time to collaborate. Also using Moodle for dept. meetings, materials for sharing, prof. dept. Great for sharing, as only one meeting all K-12 librarians can attend. Plan to develop courses for teachers - need more server space. Looking at developing standards for developing blogs and wikis - permissions. Need more server space.
Kendall, Waltham - Lots of works with wikis: urban landscapes with Art - online critiques with wiki, also doing one with history dept. - Google custom search engine, created Voicethread to show how could be used with student projects
Richard, Cathedral High School - posted presentation on Slideshare - slideshare.nt/rsmyth. Presentation on mnemonomics - how technology can be a memory aid. Search in delicious, not google. Weinberger NPR piece on tagging - importance. Posted on wikispace through presentation. Memory in the Age of Electracy. How to manage information overload - using aggegator, cut down on what you subscribe to. Clean out headlines - would have missed anyway. Don't keep duplicates. Twitter - can follow people who are sharing interests. Slideshare - can have groups, messages.
Judy Ogilvie , Arllington - used wiki with high school committee working on how to develop a research project, using middle school existing document. Found the face-to-face better for working jointly on documents. Since still meeting as a group, wasn't the need to use the space.
Lucy Clerkin, Waltham - worked with a middle school teacher who does project with Arctic and Inuits = teacher had encouraged students to find own websites. Used delicious to find sites, tag. If students find own site, can send to Lucy, she'll decide if should be added to her delicious site.
Joan, Sudbury - delicious page. Found that teachers who she works with creating own delicious pages. Created generic one for library - delicious/curtislibrary/ When using with students, add another tag at end, so only see sites pertaining to that i.e. europepostcard . Useful when students in lab with limited amount of time
Sandra Roby Waltham - subscription to Noodle tools: - Noodlebib. Made presentation on how to use the Noodle tools - for teachers and students. Can use for notecards, citations
Ruth - book talk. Variance of versions in school system presented problems. Make sure that your presentation will work across the system. Hope to take lowest groups, record and post to website. Convincing teachers to try new way of doing thing has been difficult.
Linda Picceri, Watertown - using screencasts to show how to use Alexandria, cataloging. Can use Jing for screencast, screencastomatic.com
Nancy Rote - internal wiki at primary school, lots of different areas to post - lunch, special ed. Been very useful in getting organized - sped can get materials before her presentation
